    HickoryRN replied to JoMarie73's topic in Illinois Nursing

    3-11 shift is the hardest shift to work in any setting. You have visiting family, preps for the morning, sundowners, and everyone seems to get sicker as the night goes by. Guarantee that those other...

  2. Why should I encourage rest before/after meals to pts?

    HickoryRN replied to ashleymarie23's topic in General Nursing

    because the act of digesting food alone takes up a lot of energy. For a pt who already has no energy and is on chemo, eating and then doing an activity will be very draining. They're going for spacing...

  9. LEWIS UNIVERSITY

    HickoryRN replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    You need to take the NET (Nurse Entrance Exam) to get in first. Then, you have to have taken their cultural diversities class and i think 1 more that do not transfer from any school if you've already...

  10. LEWIS UNIVERSITY

    HickoryRN replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm guessing you'll be on the top of their list to get in with your GPA. You probably wouldn't start the actual nursing classes until the fall if you're a transfer. You'll just have to take some...
